First, you’re going to heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add your finely chopped onion, then sauté until soft, around 6 minutes. Then you can add in the mushrooms and fresh herbs, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Cook the mixture down until soft, around 5 minutes more. Add the flour to create a roux, cooking for around 1 minute more. With the veggies in the pan, it’ll be chunkier than when you’ve made roux with just butter or drippings, but no stress! The vegetable stock will help thin things up.
Add in the vegetable stock, and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer, and cook for around 5-10 minutes. You’re looking for the mixture to thicken slightly—the flavors will have melded together well by then. If the mixture seems too thick, add more vegetable stock—a bit at a time—to thin it up.
Give the gravy a taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed before serving warm.
The full list of ingredients and instructions can be found in the recipe below.
If you somehow manage to not pour all of your gravy on your mashed potatoes (or if you made this side ahead of time), you can store your gravy in the refrigerator for up to five days. Simply place it in an airtight container, and reheat just before serving.
